Comments: Carmean/Williamson 2007:The tree appears very healthy and sound. There is some English ivy at it's base which could become troublesome.(February 2017: The crown is lopsided due to large evergreens on one side. Tree is somewhat encumbered by English and poison ivy. Otherwise tree seems to be healthy. Measured at 15 inches due to low vertical branches. We did verify that the trunk was continuous below that point.)
